This new XFX 6950 XT is built like a tank and it is mucho grande. It dwarfs my 3060ti in the photo. All metal design, three fans, two 8 pin sockets, super reinforced IO shield to pcb support- little to no card “ sag”, unlike other giant AIB cards. It has three DP ports and one HDMI. With DP, it supports my 1440 165mhz Dell monitor. The 6950XT can go ballistic and compete at 4K if I decide to go to an LG OLED. Many users report using these for VR. This card natively performs about 65-75% better than my 3060ti. It runs about 10C cooler, about 500-700 mhz faster, uses about 10% less vram and has DOUBLE the total vram. The only downside is its increased power consumption. At full tilt, the 6950 XT consistently reports using about 300 watts , and with my i7-13700 cpu , the whole computer maxes out at 485 watts at the wall plug- measured by a Kill a Watt plug in meter. That gives my Seasonic 850watt power supply plenty of headroom. For comparison, my 3060 ti and i7-13700 measured about 350 watts at the wall during gaming ( about 39% less power). The 6950 XT shows about 20 watts power usage at idle. I have played with the fan curves a bit and the Adrenaline software used to load your AMD drivers is easy to use. I have only used the card a few days but I am IMPRESSED ! I feel great about the purchase due to its: relative price/ performance; superb build quality; beastly native performance; 16gb moving forward into an uncertain GPU environment between Nvidia, AMD and Intel. This card was nearly double the price about a year ago. I considered the 7900XT but a minimalist 16% performance increase did not justify a 36% price increase. I did mildly consider the Asus 4070 but the $110 (16%) price increase to get a triple fan Asus model with LESS performance - about 16% LESS in 1440 and 27% LESS in 4K with 4gb LESS vram. No thanks.
BTW- AMD is releasing two new mid tier cards tomorrow at Gamescon and will be announcing the release of FSR 3, a competitor to Nvidias DLSS 3. Lately, I have seen more and more former Green team owners now buying Team Red video cards. Now I know why. The AMD 68xx and 69xx cards were great performers- now at greatly reduced prices ( relatively speaking). Buy them before AMDs last gen super cards are no longer available. Like me, you will likely be impressed. Further, I used DDU Uninstall in Windows safe mode to uninstall the Nvidia drivers before I installed Adrenaline which contains the latest AMD drivers. Many YT vids on this simple and straightforward process.
Registering your new video card at the XFX website reportedly extends your warranty to THREE years and XFX video cards generally have strong customer reviews for build quality, long term longevity, etc.
UPDATE: 11/2/2023
My original XFX RX 6950XT continues to amaze me. I recently built another computer to be used at another location and tried an Nvidia RTX 4070 12gb FE gpu in it because recently both MSFS and now DCS offer DLSS, an Nvidia exclusive. The Nvidia RTX 4070 12 gb FE demonstrated moderate performance at best, and worse, it started demonstrating hemispheric shading issues after being used for just a few days after purchase. Back it went to the partner retailer and i JUST BOUGHT ANOTHER XFX RX 6950XT for that alternate computer. Folks, this video card is just that good. For exactly the same cost as the Nvidia RTX 4070 12 gb FE, it smokes the Green card in pure, unbridled performance. These last gen AMD super cards are disappearing over time. Buy one before the inventory is exhausted. It will be a BIG DOG for quite awhile . Stunning build quality and Mach speed performance for the co$t.

down with nvida price gouging!
I paired it with a 5800X3D and sat it on an ASUS Crosshair VIII mobo with 32gb of some Gskill Ripjaw @ 4000mhz and a P41 Hynix for storage medium. Everything is air cooled, with the Cooler Master dual tower RGB fan being used for my CPU; I planted all my gear inside the monstrous Cooler Master HAF EVO 700 E-ATX case--a tower so big that this massive GPU is completely dwarfed inside of it.
Historically, I'm a hyper-tinkerer at heart when it comes to my rigs with a compulsion to overlook, undervolt and tweak everything in my systems six ways to Sunday. This time around I decided to put together a system that was such a beast when running stock that I could feel comfortable with its performance and try to abate my obsession with fidgeting and micromanaging all my settings and bios. And with this build, I've basically found my laissez-faire holy grail thanks in large part to this particular GPU.
The performance is so strong that I'm actually able to notice hardware bottlenecks when playing games that aren't installed on my P41 m2. The card rips through frames at such a consistent speed, the external SSD I've used for a secondary storage medium actually has noticeable micro stutters Jesse I ally when first starting gaming sessions and textures\shadows are caching. However, hese bottlenecks are completely nonexistent when gaming on titles installed on my P41 Hynix and the load times are absolute insanity. My machine boots to desktop from a cold start before I can finish sitting down in my chair if I push power on from a standing position and titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead 2, Dying Light 2, Elden Ring, Days Gone and Hell Let Loose are able to prey cache/initialize and load up in a literal matter of seconds. I almost feel like I'm gaming on alien technology or something.
FSR2.0/Radeon Scaling already turn this beast of a card into a Super Saiyan Blue-level powerhouse. Setting games to 1080p while keeping my native at 1440p has given me scaling performance upwards of 150%-200%, depending on the FSR profile used.
Of course Raytracing takes a big hit performance wise when compared to Nvidia's cards, but in 1440p without FSR that hit usually means you'll be playing at 60-70fps, which is almost always more than enough for buttersmooth consistency--especially in third person games. FPS shooters are usually the only time you might feel that the 60-70 fps range isn't enough, and that's understandable. Very few games utilize RT in a meaningful way anyway, so it isn't that big of a problem for me except maybe when I'm playing Cyberpunk 2077 or Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition. RT looks incredible in Control, however, and it plays smooth as glass as well.
The other things I'm completely enamored by with this card are its temps both idle and under load, and its noise output. This thing is ninja quiet at peak load even two or three hours into a heavy Hell Let Loose or Battlefield 5 gaming session, and temperatures hardly ever exceed 60c after hours of playing. The highest I've seen this thing ever go is 68c during ARK Survival Evolved, and that is such an horribly optimized title I didn't give it much gravitas since performance in everything else I play is substantially/significantly cooler. 50-55c under load in many games is common.
The only con I had with this card was video playback stuttering like crazy whenever I watched Hulu in the desktop app or when I watched Netflix/Tubi/HBOMax/Disney+/Apple TV+ in Microsoft Edge and Opera GX. However, I was able to fix this buy disabling Hardware Acceleration in Edge (this also fixed playback stuttering in the Hulu app because it runs in an Edge window and uses HTML5 as its API) and in Opera GX. Mind you, thr playback stuttering was -only- in the browser version of each streaming platform. Their standalone apps worked perfectly from the get-go (except Hulu cuz HTML5 as explained above) because they run in programs with .NET APIs or other compiled libraries. After fixing my video stuttering problem (also a known problem to AMD per their Adrenalin driver update notes), this card has yet to show me a single flaw or leave me unhappy with its performance.
I never knew games could ever look or feel this good to play. The performance almost feels ... Magical, for lack of a better and less geeky way of describing it. Getting it on sale for over $100 off the usual price certainly adds to its charm as well.
Here's to at least another 5 years of use! 5/5 A+ to AMD, what a killer piece of tech!

However, I was able to fix this buy disabling Hardware Acceleration in Edge (this also fixed playback stuttering in the Hulu app because it runs in an Edge window and uses HTML5 as its API) and in Opera GX. Mind you, thr playback stuttering was -only- in the browser version of each streaming platform. Their standalone apps worked perfectly from the get-go (except Hulu cuz HTML5 as explained above) because they run in programs with .NET APIs or other compiled libraries. After fixing my video stuttering problem (also a known problem to AMD per their Adrenalin driver update notes), this card has yet to show me a single flaw or leave me unhappy with its performance.
I never knew games could ever look or feel this good to play. The performance almost feels ... Magical, for lack of a better and less geeky way of describing it. Getting it on sale for over $100 off the usual price certainly adds to its charm as well.
Here's to at least another 5 years of use! 5/5 A+ to AMD, what a killer piece of tech!

For the price, and better performance than the new RX 7600 at lower wattage (even before the undervolt) plus the 2GB of extra Vram it's a purchase that im happy with.
I also like the backplate design and lack of obsessive RGB that needs fiddly software. A trend that XFX is really good at not falling into. Bought for around $20 CAD more than an RX 7600, if you can find it at an equivalent price this is definitely a better buy between the 2.

Je en vais pas m'étendre sur la qualité de cette carte, c est le meilleur rapport qualité / perf ( au moment ou je l'ai acheté) en haut de gamme.
J'ai vraiment été bleuffé par la qualité de la carte : plastique et solidité du back plate !
Et la suite logiciel d'AMD Whouaaouu, c est vraiment chouette , clair et trés bien fait.
Pour info je suis un Old school, je ne suis pas un pro Nvidia ou AMD, mais j'avais une GTX 1060 6Go, et ayant une Proc AMD 5800X je suis parti sur une carte AMD pour avoir une cohérence hardware et bénéficier du Smart Acces Memory, avec un système possédant 64Go de RAM...
J'avoue que là XFX a fait une magnifique carte et je recommande après dejà quelques mois d'utilisation , avant le post de cet avis.
Carte testée sur différentes appli pro : Première / maya / solidwork et en gaming , ben ca fait le taf !!!!
C'est sûr y a toujours mieux... mais j'essaye de rester le plus objectif possible, et c est parfois difficile.
Merci pour la lecture.
Habe die Grafikkarte mal unter Windows getestet, liefert eine sehr solide Performance ab zwischen 3080 und 3090 also quasi 3080Ti.
Man muss ehrlicherweise dazu sagen, NVIDIA hat die Nase vorn was Technik angeht, aber AMD macht durch die Bank weg Grafikkarten zu sehr angenehmen Preisen mit guten Specs.
Diese Grafikkarte ist bis 500 € eine absolute Preis-/leistungsempfehlung.
